This show is a "sad" story about a young drug addict and how he perceives his world and how it impacts his relationships with his friends. Sounds sad and depressing, but it was not, at least not until the last five to ten minutes. Up until that point what is a sad story is actually told in a hilarious way. The audience was laughing throughout. For those of you that were looking for a show with nudity, you goofed if you missed this show. "Timothy" got naked for a few minutes in this show and he was adorable. The character was well developed and you could not help but love the character before the play was over. The actor did an amazing job.
